Q: ECM replacement

asked by on

ecm replacment

My car has 150000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.

If you have a need to have the ECM replaced then you will need to have one programmed for your vehicle and have the system integrated so all the modules talk to each other. This will require the computer to be programmed using an NGS or WDS scanner from Ford.
